Hi all,

Got the reflex ROM installed but am having problems with changing the keyboard. I installed SwiftKey and all works fine, but when i reset my phone it reverts back to the stock keyboard everytime...I also tryed getting the GB keyboard off the market but it wont even allow this to run.

Any ideas...?

Cheers.

With resetting your phone, your set the rom the state from which out comes. All settings will be default. And the default keyboard setting is the android keyboard. So there isn't any issue, it's the normal way.

[Windows Phone 7 General] longshanks:
The major gripe I have with windows Phone is how it's sold or as is the case mis-sold. If quarterly results are correct - circa 1.5m Windows Phones sold that is pretty diabolical when you consider just how good the platform is.

I showed my phone and its features to my sister and brother in law and they liked the way it worked - its fluidity and how they could easily email, use calendar web etc. It wasn't a hard sell.

So I went around to all the cell phone stores in my local shopping centre and all the major retailers - Vodafone, T-mobile, o2, Orange, Three, Carphone Warehouse, Phones 4 U all had one phone front and centre - no guesses it's the Iphone.

The salespeople were on the most totally inept and either tried to shift an Iphone or any Android device. Their knowledge of the Windows Phone was either non existant or plain falsifications. Ontop of that the one salesperson who did know about Windows Phone was saying all you are interested in is office integration which Android provides.

There is no clear message to the public of what windows phone is and what it can do. Also the same phone is not available on all networks unlike the iphone.

If MS and Nokia want to sell tens of millions of windows phones a quarter they are not going about it the right way. Spending hundreds of millions on an ad campaign will create an initial boost but it won't last.

The problem MS has is that it probably will not want to push one phone above another in their adverts which will then create more confusion. Nokia will push their phone and brand above the o/s - there will be this confusing message once again.

I feel that for Windows Phone to be a success MS needs to get into bed fully with Nokia and actually have a joint marketing campaign - yes this may put of Samsung, LG etc but with the volumes currently shipping it won't be such a great loss.

Essentially we need one windows phone to rule them all. One phone available on all the networks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I think it's a very bad idea to undermine the other OEMs just to fully promote Nokia. It's not really their faults the phones didn't sell, the OS was lacking and Microsoft didn't promote it very hard.

The issue is more in the sort of ads you use. Like you've seen, people who see WP love it so the ads should show the OS in action similar to ads for the iPhone and Windows 7.

You can do a huge campaign for Nokia if you like but if it's just generic stuff and tease (Oooh, we have Xbox Live and Office you know) without actually showing the OS it will be pointless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] noidd:
Currently, I think a majority of people are waiting on better hardware coupled with mango. I,myself, am waiting on the new Samsung offering before I make the switch from Android to WP7.

I like the look and feel of WP7 vs. Android. Having an Iphone and now Android, I'm tired of the similar UI that is shared between them. Different is good and as long as functionality and ease of use is there, I think you'll see more people migrating over by next year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nudua:
Gotta agree with noidd here, a lot of people are waiting for new hardware with Mango.

The whole one phone to rule them all is Apple's philosophy, and I'm sure that's one of the reasons why people started running to Android in the first place.

Hopefully we'll get a flagship phone like the galaxy s2 and people start noticing WP7 a little more.

As for the whole carrier mess, here in Norway and in pretty much entire Europe, u can get any phone on any carrier you like and I hope that kind of ridiculous carrier monopoly goes away sooner than later in especially the US.

From the respective websites

O2 - HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart

T-mobile - no Windows phones

Orange - HTC 7 Mozart, LG Optimus 7, Samsung Omnia 7

Three - no windows phone

Vodafone - no windows phone

Each one of the above websites had a dedicated Iphone page and promoted Android.

The Iphone is promoted so much and hyped once people decide they want it they can get it on any of the 5 major nextworks in the uk.

Looking at 2 big phone retailers -

Carphone Warehouse - HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Pro

--Vodafone - HTC 7 Trophy, LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Pro

--Orange -- HTC 7 Mozart, LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Pro

--Tmobile - LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Pro

--o2 - HTC HD7

--Three - none

Phones4u -

Vodafone - HTC 7 Trophy

Yes again they promote the Iphone front and centre as if their life depends on it. From whhat I have gleaned they make less profit on the Iphone sales than on high end Android phones but as the Iphone has become something of a golden child network operators stock it more to show theire relevancy as an operator in the eyes of the doe eyed consumers.

I still maintain that until Windows has a one or two phones available on all networks it won't make any impact whatsoever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
At launch Vodafone were carrying the Trophy and the Optimus 7, Three were carrying the Omnia 7 and Optimus 7 and T-Mobile were carrying the Mozart and Omnia 7. Those carriers dropped the phones because they a) weren't selling well and b) were old handsets. They didn't sell well because they were poop. Overpriced poop.

Look at the handsets available, then look at the prices they launched at. Every single one was available in Android flavour, and for significantly less (and, in many cases the Android hardware was superior). The HD7 and Mozart were the same price as the Desire HD, yet the HD7 and Mozart had lower quality screens and cameras. The Trophy was a similar spec to the Desire, and the Omnia 7 to the Galaxy yet both were significantly more expensive than their Android counterparts. There were also significant build quality differences in some cases. In a nutshell, Windows Phone 7 handsets were a bit of a con at launch and people weren't stupid enough to fall for it. The manufacturers messed up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mplant99:
Coincidentally, I just made an off-topic, throwaway remark about this issue in a post in another thread. I've had the same experience (in Canada) of having salespeople try to deflect me away from WP7 to either Android or iOS. When WP7 first became available where I am, the salesman that I purchased my phone from expressed surprise at how good WP7 was, having just returned from a convention in Toronto. That was November 11, 2010. Since that time, I've not heard one good thing about WP7 from any salesperson. Invariably, WP7 is played down and iOS and Android played up. The user experience (this is always vague, the implication being that somehow WP7, not being as pervasive as the two biggies, somehow falls short and that anyone running WP7 will be missing out) and quantity of apps in the app stores are the two most common reasons given. Extending this "theme", I've even had salespeople assure me that Windows 8 tablets, when they come out and which will extend the Metro concept, will be crap!

Point is, I wonder if Android OEMs and Apple are offering larger incentives on the sale of these devcies, either to the individual salesperson or to select retailers? This idea is prompted by having bought an LCD tv at Christmas. I wound up buying at a furniture store and the salesman *used* to work at Futureshop (large electronics store in Canada like Dixons in the UK or BestBuy in the US - indeed it is now owned by BestBuy). He told me that the salesforce was pressured to push Samsung because of a huge difference in the commission paid relative to competing products. Indeed, this was my experience as I shopped around: I was consistently directed toward Samsung.

I own and use Android and iOS devices and the original release of WP7 was very competitive in my opinion. Mango, which I have just started using, is even more competitive. I can't see why a salesperson knowledgeable about the device and its competition would steer potential customers away without external motivations? I'll be very interested to see what happens this fall, when Mango and second gen WP7 devices become available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] longshanks:
Apple provide sales incentives - nope. From conversations I have had with Vodafone in the UK and AT&T in the US they get very little from Apple - they sell the i-phone as its what people want and b) they hope to keep them on after their contract is up. Otherwise they make more money on the Android devices.

Boils down to this for operators

1) Must sell i-phone as it's what people want even though margins are crap.

2) Must sell Android as volumes are good, as are margins but we can also modify the o/s.

3) Wp7 is an efterthought as its not selling well and we can't modify the o/s. As to margins that would be anyones guess.
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
I blame this all on the Scary Butterfly lady...

Things should get better with Mango and some current hardware. The OS was really released too soon for the wrong reasons with an obnoxiously unimpressive hardware spec. As long as Microsoft follows up Mango with a great Ad campaign this should get right back on track. Microsoft tends to flounder with their initial release then they fire the morons that looked impressive on paper and get some real muscle in there. Just look at the launch of the Xbox brand if you need historical proof of this.

I just bought the bootmanager app off the market which allows you to boot different roms on one device and switch without losing data. I have CM7 installed on my phone and want to boot a sense rom off my sd using bootmanager, but the last time I went from sense to cm7 it broke my GPS and i had to reflash a sense rom to get things working. Will flashing a sense rom break it again?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterjackson92:
No it definitely will not. CM7 is the only rom the breaks the GPS and it only does it occassionally. The fix when GPS breaks is to flash back to a sense rom and reflash CM7. So there is no way flashing a sense rom will break gps
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
GPS

I run Liquid AOSP 3.2 which is based on CM7, I just recently installed bootmanager,

I've installed the ICS Alpha and regular CM7 so far and GPS is still working well.

I'm now installing XDAbolt, but my theory is it can only help with GPS issues in CM7 roms, in theory since you install sense, wipe everything and then install cm7 to fix the gps, it's not the files that get screwed up but the calibration of the gps itself, so in theory if you use bootmanager and have a sense rom installed, if GPS breaks in a CM7 based rom you should be able to boot into Sense, get a lock and then boot back to your CM7 rom.

That's just a theory mind you, it may not fix it like I'm thinking it would, but I can't see installing sense breaking it. We'll see when I boot into Sense :)

Update,

No isssues booted into Sense used GPS, then booted into AOSP, GPS still works fine
[G2 and Desire Z General] dwang93:
I'm a little confused on unlocking a carrier phone. My G2 is fully rooted,I;m running Cyanogen on it. But I'm not sure if I ever did the S-off stuff. Does that have anything to do with unlocked phones? Does having a rooted phone mean that its already unlocked? Or does unlocking a phone require more then just rooting.

And I would just check with someone else's sim card but I don't have any readily available.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] KayxGee1:
Unlocking is different from rooting. Unlocking is hardware based that allows the use of other carriers with that phone. Unlocking is used with GSM phones. Rooting is software based that gives the user root access to the android os. Generally these two aren't linked, though for the G2 there is a tool AMT(correct me if I'm wrong) that performs rooting, s-off, an unlocking all in one. When you use tools to unlock a phone, not all radios are supported, and there is no guarantee that the tool will work. It's always easier to get an unlock code from the phone's carrier.

To check if a phone is unlocked, get a SIM card that is not normally used with the phone. (if the phone is att put a t-mo SIM card in it) if the phone is unlocked, you will gain service and will be able to place calls.

Hope this helped!

[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
If you correctly used gfree to root, then you should be S-Off, SuperCID-ed, and unlocked all in one step.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yup, if you did gfree, you are SIM-unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dwang93:
The thing is I don't think I used Gfree. I did it with terminal and adb push.

Assuming its not unlocked what steps should I take to unlock it? Should I reroot with gfree?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I think you used Gfree, as it uses the terminal and ADB push.

You must have used some exploit made by somebody else, such as gfree. You can't just get root and S-Off with ADB, unless you are some master hacker (in which case, you would not be asking these questions).
[G2 and Desire Z General] dwang93:
Yes, i did use another program, definitely not a master hacker. This was very early on, and I don't remember exactly what I did but it was more involved than gfree.

Anyways, I just checked using gfree verify and my phone is not unlocked, just rooted. So now the question is what to do next? I'm going to read over the wiki, but basically im just not sure how to just unlock the phone without the entire root process. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

I need some help. I couldn't find any info on my problem in TF forums, hence created a new topic.

The problem is that I can't watch an Online-TV (I use etvnet(dot)com to watch some Russian TV) on my TF. I tried stock player and Mobo player, but both of them can't open the file.

I don't know all the technical details, but I know that the video streams as WMV-file using MMS protocol. Any suggestions on what player can play it?

So far the only way I found was to watch it from my PC using Splashtop HD, however it's kinda slow and works awful in "full-screen" mode.

Hey,

got them yesterday, using one today. Hard to compare something with flashing new ROMs etc., but they seem at least not worse then the original one :)

Have a look at item-no: 220816973218 at ebay.de

The price is amazing and they arrived during one week. They use 4.2V instead of 3.7, hope that is not damaging the Sensation but I saw this voltage at other batteries as well.

When phone is off, not hibernate, LED stays orange even when fully charged.

So after one day of using I would recommend this anyway.

Edit: brand is GaliliO
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I think this is more like 1400mah than 2500...

Take it to some electronic shop and get it tested while it's fully charged. Youw ill see most of these will not come over 1200 yet alone 2000.
[HTC Sensation] xdafalter:
I know these specs are most likely not to be true. Anyway, the batteries are still not worse then the original one, I think even a bit better, and maybe they are getting even better with a few charging cycles. That still has to be determined.

Anyway, the price is still amazing for 2 batteries with charger, even with only 1400mAh which has been not proven, yet.
[HTC Sensation] MiLoKa:
I would not believe that they are really 2500 mAh. If you are lucky they will not die soon. Usually if I buy a chinese battery they don't last long.
[HTC Sensation] xdafalter:
well, you can moan all you want about those chinese batteries... they still work great and last about twice as long as the stock one. Also the LED problem has resolved itself, but that was probably a problem with CWM, anyway.
